Mentor Status

I have a mentor! After changing my capstone project topic, it was alot easier for me to find a career im intrested in. The mentor that I have now is more accessible and easier to contact. I am now doing my physical project on hairdressing. Considering that our research paper is due next week i am going to start logging in my hours starting february. Also taking my school and cheer schedule into accounr i am only going to be able to log my hours on saturday which is perfect because my mentor works all saturdays!

Mentor Update

Currently the situation with me finding a mentor is that I have not found one. I visited a few different pediatrician offices to see if they could help me out but all of them did not get back to me. I am looking into contacted a family clinic that is located a few streets down from my house and seeing if they could offer me some assistance in finding myself a mentor pediatric nurse. It is a clinic for all of South San Francisco and it looks to be pretty promising. It has been quite difficult to find time to complete all of this considering i have cheer all week and by the time i get home offices almost always seem to be closed, but im hoping to get all of  this done by this weekend so i can get started on completing my twenty-five hours of work on my physical project.

Fiscal Cliff Response

The Fiscal Cliff is basically tax cuts and spending cut that were going to be imposed by the government. Democrats highly want to find a way to close the fiscal cliff deal. They believe in raising taxes on people who make more than $250,000 a year as well as more liberal beliefs compared to those of the republicans. Republicans opinion on the fiscal cliff is a much more conservative view. For example they believe that there should be a government shutdown to make sure that the fiscal is safe, as well as no tax raises for the upper class.
The way I conducted my search started off by first trying to research the basic overview of what te fiscal cliff was. I searched the terms fiscal cliff overview and it lead me to my first source http://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fiscalcliff.asp#axzz2HbxI8srI which gave me a good start on what my summary was about. Next I searched the democatic view on this topic by looking at the most recent democatic opinions on it by using the advance search and setting it to only show me results from the last month and it made me reach this source http://www.thedailybeast.com/features/2012/11/fiscal-cliff.3.html
Lastly I had to find the republican view on the fiscal cliff which i found from a current news article from NBC new http://nbcpolitics.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/01/09/16414869-despite-fiscal-cliff-setback-gop-remains
